The small wooden farmhouse, built about 1812, once offered unobstructed views of the rolling Bronx hills, perhaps even to the shores of Long Island. It was Poe's home from 1846 to 1849, the last three years of his life. He wrote some of his most famous works there, including "Annabel Lee" and "The Bells." Administered by the Bronx County Historical Society since 1975, the cottage is restored to its original appearance, with authentic period furnishings. There's a film presentation and guided tour.
The Edgar Allan Poe Cottage is the former home of American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It is located near the intersection of Kingsbridge Road and the Grand Concourse in the Fordham neighborhood of the Bronx in New York City. The house is believed to have been built in 1797. In 1913, it was relocated a short distance from its original location, and is now in the northern part of Poe Park.
